The aim of this book is to justify the importance of economic knowledge for every human being in a country with an economic system based on the market mechanism, and to explain and debunk the myths and stereotypes related to economic education and its effectiveness, particularly among young people. The book offers a comparative analysis of the economic education of young people in Poland and throughout the world. It examines the historical emergence of economies and economic thinking and decision-making as well as the different philosophies and educational systems in the EU and the USA. It thoroughly investigates the economic knowledge of Polish youth via an annual study, which the authors have conducted since 2012. The book outlines both the formal and informal methods of economic education, from education programs in general secondary schools and economic technical schools, as well as in vocational schools, and also examines school Business Incubators. It concludes with a summary, reviewing the implementation of research goals and issues and outlining directions for future research. The authors break down complex topics and provide readers with a base knowledge of economics at the micro and macro levels. The book will serve as a useful and practical guide for students and researchers, as well as policymakers concerned with rethinking the education system. Additionally, it will be a helpful resource for those wanting to acquire the knowledge needed to conduct a business, as the authors maintain that entrepreneurship can be learned.

Addressing the theoretical and practical gaps in our knowledge around developing internal and external domains of youth entrepreneurship, the book places particular emphasis on South Africa, but offers insights and implications that can be applied far beyond our borders. It makes the case that it is possible to develop internal domains through various models. These models include ‘shifting hope activating potential entrepreneurship’ (SHAPE), ‘youth entrepreneur support’ (YES), and ‘systemic action learning and action research’ (SALAR). Validated through a series of assessments, these models were created as a basis for the development and application of a youth entrepreneurship ecosystem for university students. The study presented in this book describes the development of a youth entrepreneur support network to sustain Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation development among students. It provides insights into a framework and model that can be simulated at other institutions, organisations and youth entrepreneurship development programmes. A useful resource for academics and post-graduate students, the book provides valuable insights on how to develop, implement, apply and monitor new models and best practices to support youth entrepreneurs’ journey on route to entrepreneurial action.

Young people's natural proclivity for innovation and change makes them ideal candidates for entrepreneurship, provided that the community can provide the necessary support to help them overcome their obstacles and increase their chances of success. In terms of job creation, product and service innovation, market competition, community revitalization, and income generation, youth entrepreneurship benefits a city's economic development. Because youth entrepreneurs face more challenges than adult entrepreneurs, they would benefit from talent development programmes that provide them with skills, mentoring, networking, and access to resources to help them succeed. Determining the Definition of Youth Entrepreneurship In the literature, entrepreneurship is defined in a variety of ways. the practical application of enterprising qualities such as initiative, innovation, creativity, and risk-taking into the workplace (either as a sole proprietor or as a worker in a small start-up firm), while employing the skills required for success in that environment and culture."

In addition to entrepreneurship development and entrepreneurial opportunities, the book will cover and discuss a number of other factors necessary for a successful transformation, such as entrepreneurship and innovation, entrepreneurship and change, and entrepreneurship education.

And Teresa (“Resa” for short) is starting with the lemonade stand competition her teacher assigned to the class—but making it a success is going to be a lot harder than Resa thinks. The prize: line-skipping tickets to Adventure Central. The competition: Val, Resa's middle school nemesis. And the biggest obstacle to success: Resa's own teammates. Harriet is the class clown, Amelia is the new girl who thinks she knows best, and Didi is Resa's steadfast friend—who doesn't know the first thing about making or selling lemonade.

This book analyses the opportunities and barriers for youth entrepreneurship amid systemic change in Central and Eastern Europe. The authors cover different aspects of youth entrepreneurship and its contribution to the debate on youth unemployment in transition economies. The book discusses the wide-spread over-optimism regarding youth entrepreneurship, self-employment, and its impact on economic innovation and job creation, resulting from a disregard of critical contextual features and the characteristics of young entrepreneurs themselves. The authors give due acknowledgment of the importance of both factors and so fully understand the impediments to youth entrepreneurship, especially in a transition context. Furthermore, they seek to assess the opportunities and constraints of promotion policies in transition economies. Most importantly, the book provides the first empirical contribution to youth entrepreneurship in Central and Eastern Europe by offering a representative number of case studies. The book will be invaluable reading for scholars and students of transition and developing countries, particularly those with an interest in entrepreneurship.
